The Sealbearers Arrive – Battle Beneath the Crimson Sky

> "Some destinies are not chosen... they are forged in the fire of heartbreak and tempered by blood."— Kaito Uchiwara



---
[Scene: Minazuki – Rooftops Under Crimson Sky | Evening]
The sky bled red.
The sun, once warm and golden, now looked like a watching eye — furious, foreboding.
Kaito stood atop the ancient Minazuki Shrine, his eyes locked on the horizon. The wind carried a storm not of rain, but of fate.
Behind him, five warriors emerged — cloaked in ivory robes, their backs marked with a glowing kanji: 封 (Seal).
Kaito (without turning):"You're late. The Voidfire stirs."
Sealbearer One – Yukio Kureha:"We came when the balance tipped. Not a moment before."
Sealbearer Two – Mei of the Azure Moon:"Is it true? The Black Flame chose a vessel?"
Kaito nodded slowly.
Kaito:"His name is Renjiro Akegami. And he's not just a vessel… he’s the storm the gods feared."

[Scene: Outskirts – Wounded Moon Forest]
Renjiro’s body trembled.
The awakening had taken its toll. Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and the flame inside him clawed for more — more anger, more heartbreak.
He saw her again in his mind — Amiya, smiling at someone else.
> “You gave her your silence… and she gave her heart to another.”


Renjiro punched the ground.
Renjiro:"I’m not angry at her. I’m angry at… myself."
Just then, the sky above him cracked — not metaphorically, literally. A sigil burst open in the heavens, and five beams of energy descended.
The Sealbearers had come.

---
[Scene: Mid-Sky | Battle Formation]
The Sealbearers landed in a perfect circle around Renjiro. Each drew weapons: staffs, blades, talismans pulsing with divine magic.
Yukio:"Renjiro Akegami. Vessel of the Black Flame. By decree of the Celestial Code, you must surrender."
Renjiro (rising slowly):"Surrender…? For what?"
Mei:"For loving too deeply. For burning too brightly. For holding a power that can consume the stars."
Renjiro smirked.
Renjiro:"Then come try to take it from me."

[Scene: Battle Begins – Symphony of Elements]
Yukio unleashed “Heaven’s Bind” — chains of sacred lightning surged at Renjiro.
But he didn’t dodge.He walked through them.
The Black Flame around him didn’t just burn — it absorbed.
Renjiro whispered:
> “Pain doesn’t chain me anymore. It feeds me.”


Mei summoned a giant dragon of ice, but Renjiro's flames coiled upward like a serpent, clashing mid-air. Explosions thundered like war drums.
Renjiro (eyes glowing):"You came to seal me… but I’m already sealed by something worse than darkness."
Yukio:"What could be worse than this power?"
Renjiro looked to the stars.
Renjiro:"Unconfessed love."

[Scene: Elsewhere – Amiya’s Balcony]
Far away, Amiya looked up at the crimson sky, her hand on her chest. Her boyfriend Kaede held her gently.
Kaede:"What is it?"
Amiya:"Nothing... I just feel like someone is breaking quietly."

[Scene: Return to Battlefield – Final Clash]
Yukio yelled:"He’s going out of control! Activate the Celestial Seal!"
All five Sealbearers formed a star-circle, chanting. A divine light formed above.
Renjiro stood still, watching.
> “Seal me if you can. But know this… you’re not fighting a boy.”


> “You’re fighting every tear I never cried… every word I never spoke.”


The final light descended.
A flash — brighter than the sun.
Silence.

---
[Final Scene: Aftermath – Crater of Flame and Ash]
The area was scorched. Trees gone. Sky gray.
Four Sealbearers lay unconscious.
Only Mei stood, coughing blood, eyes wide with awe.
Mei:"He's... no longer human."
From the crater, Renjiro emerged — his left eye glowing black, the other glowing gold.
He whispered:
> “This is just the beginning.”
